What does ONG mean?
The term ONG is an abbreviation that stands for “on God.” The slang phrase on God is used to express honesty, strong belief, or strong emotions. ONG is used similarly to phrases such as I swear to God or as God is my witness.
The term ONG is often used alongside a statement a person strongly believes to be true. For example, someone may say My brother is the laziest guy I know ong or Ong I am going to smash my alarm clock tomorrow.
ONG is used synonymously to I swear to God and similar phrases that are used to strongly express belief or emotion about something. For example, a person is more likely to use ONG if they are angry, frustrated, or otherwise emotional about something.
Like many slang abbreviations, ONG is rarely said out loud and is most often used in texting and on social media.
Example: My dog is legit scared of every living thing ong.
Where does ONG come from?
The term ONG as a shortening for “on God” has been used since at least the later 2010s, but it was likely used earlier.
ONG is a common misspelling and typo of the popular OMG (“oh my God”), which makes it difficult to identify when the earliest usage of ONG began. On god has been used on social media since at least the early 2010s, so it seems likely that ONG was also used since at least this the time.
